Bulgaria's President Georgi Parvanov said Wednesday the Belene Nuclear Power Plant could be build with loans from Russia, if necessary.

"It is not very easy to find credits for such a large-scale project as our second nuclear power plant in times of global financial crisis. We should not exclude the Russian side as a possible source of loans, of course", the Bulgarian President declared making it clear the country had to keep its regional edge in energy.

"I explicitly refuse to accept the claims by certain political factors that the Belene project needs to be frozen until no one knows when. By that time our neighbors would have probably built their nuclear plants, and Bulgaria will remain among the last states claiming to have a serious nuclear and energy sector", Parvanov said.

Just fixed this typo! You see, Gotse was just trying to explain that Belene CAN be frozen. The crisis is a perfect excuse, and nobody takes the Bulgarian energy "sector" seriously anyway. That's what he really said, just the usual spelling mistakes from Novinite!

By that time our neighbors would have probably built their nuclear plants, and Bulgaria will remain among the last states claiming to have a serious nuclear and energy sector", Parvanov said.

SO this is the real meaning behind this project and not that bulgarian households would have to sit in the darkness...

It's just a matter of national prestige with the target to export electricity to the neighbour countries.

The fact is that the technology of the Belene reactor is already outdated, the questioned region is in danger of earthquakes as we could eyewhitness last weekend. This was only a small one.

And not to stop there, Bulgaria makes himself totally dependend on russia, with credits, with the supply of nuclear fuel and disposal of nuclear waste (which nobody knows, what is going to happen with it, when it goes to Russia).
